Ford hails display after England get second wind
Birmingham Mail

GEORGE Ford was pleased with England's second-half display in a 35-12 victory over Argentina on a special night for the fly-half.
-
Ford marked his 100th appearance for England with a 15-point haul in La Plata as he pulled the strings for Steve Borthwick’s makeshift lineup.
Without several players due to British and Irish Lions commitments, Ford and fellow co-captain Jamie George stepped up to help England through a difficult first half, in which they were temporarily reduced to 13 men, before they attacked with aplomb after the break.
Tom Roebuck grabbed a brace of second-half tries and Freddie Steward also crossed before Cadan Murley wrapped up the scoring late on to earn a comprehensive victory, which was all the more impressive given Alex Coles and Seb Atkinson were sent to the sin-bin at the same time during the opening period of the game.
